"What It Takes to Be a Neo-Neoconservative"
I liberal di oggi che, come i neocon, si battono per la democrazia in Medio Oriente: Paul Berman, Michael Ignatieff, Christopher Hitchens. «This generation of liberal intellectuals, like its precursors, prefers to see itself less as a political coalition than as an assemblage of writers with diverse views - which of course it is. Ideological labels are always provisional. Yet however much their attitudes toward the war in Iraq differ from those of such contemporary neoconservatives as William Kristol and Robert Kagan, they are heirs of the same intellectual tradition. Given this, can they still be classified as liberals? Or could it be that they've become... neoconservatives?», James Atlas su The New York Times
